Current events assignment


Recommended Posts

We do a current events thing every week and the one we did based on this article from the UN was one of the most interesting in some time. It allowed for research and discussion on the founding of our country as well as class inequality and also how media can shape beliefs. We may even continue it into another week because it brought up so many interesting areas to research and learn about. I love hearing my child's take on things like this and his ideas on how to improve the problems brought up in the article. http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=58300#.Wj2mnXNlDqA

 

Eta...it also links to the actual full statement which is interesting to read as well.
